  • Kelly Sadler’s “insult”

    George Rebane Last week, White House aide Kelly Sadler said McCain’s opposition to Gina Haspel’s nomination to be the next CIA Director didn't matter because he’s “dying anyway."  Ms Sadler’s comment was made during a private, closed door planning session in the White House concerning how now-confirmed CIA Director’s nomination was to be managed through…

  • Scattershots – 9may18 (updated)

    George Rebane When I speak of the notion that ‘the Left is evil’, I am not talking about some outlier faction representing a minuscule fraction of that population.  Invoking that notion for me requires showing that a large fraction, which includes the Left’s thought leaders and intellects, is practicing a given evil policy.  Here is…

  • Gun Violence Community Dialogue & Town Hall Update (updated 21apr18)

    George Rebane Silly me.  And here all along I thought I knew what is a community dialogue in a town hall format.  You know, a gathering for which they make a big announcement for everyone interested to gather together, hear some speaker(s), and then everyone has a chance to be heard.  Au contraire mon ami. …

  • Gun violence town hall in Nevada City (updated 7apr18)

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 4 April 2018.] Today the Second Amendment and gun violence are on the minds of many people.  Both subjects have widely different meanings for Americans, and the usual conversations held on these topics more often than not find people talking past each…

  • Stephen Hawking, RIP

      Dr Stephen Hawking, Physicist (1942 – 2018)

  • The Progressives’ Parkland Pawns (updated)

    George Rebane Everyone now knows how the students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School became very visible gun control and confiscation advocates after the massacre at their school which also highlighted massive government failures, cowardice, and LE incompetence.  The students were able to organize themselves into several functional and mobile teams that confronted the media,…

  • Our New Cannabis Ordinance – A Civil Approach

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 14 February 2018.] Yesterday afternoon Jo Ann and I were in the packed supervisors’ chamber at the Rood Center.  The supes were there to discuss the new county cannabis ordinance and give guidance to the county staff about what they wanted to…

  • Scattershots – 12feb18 (updated 15feb18)

    George Rebane Today we celebrate the closing of the National Hotel’s escrow.  Owner Tom Coleman is a longtime Rebane family friend and poker buddy (developer of the notorious Coleman Shuffle, the Coleman Deal, and, of course, the ever-reliable Coleman Dollar bet).  Tom called yesterday to tell me to get my butt down to the hotel…

  • Scattershots – 5feb18 (updated 9feb18)

    George Rebane Lots of pot businesses coming to Nevada City.  In the 5feb18 Union our George Boardman documents (here) the lament he shares with many of the town’s locals and most certainly many other county residents.  Now I’m a longtime proponent of legalizing MJ (to avoid Einsteinian insanity), but I’m not yet smart enough to…

  • Deep State’s Rogue Roots (3feb18 update)

    George Rebane In a republic the only government oversight the people have is through their elected representatives, and that is necessarily political. The 2feb18 release of the Nunes memo underscores a serious concern that has arisen among most Americans since the Obama era national elections, and now heightened by the suspicious goings on during and…
